Given: Scalars and
, the matrices
and
.
Objective: To determine the validity of the statement for any scalars α and β and for any matrices
and
for the indicated operations are defined.
The statement is valid for any scalars
and
and for any matrices
and
for which the indicated operations are defined. This property is known as the commutative property of matrix addition.
According to the commutative property of addition, the order of addition does not affect the result. In the case of matrices, this means that swapping the order of addition between two matrices does not change the sum.
For example, if we have matrices and
, then
is equal to
. This property holds true regardless of the specific values of the matrices or the scalars involved in the addition.
In summary, the statement is a valid property of matrix addition and holds true for any matrices
and
where addition is defined.
